Fairhaven Woodland and Water Garden, Ancient woodland garden in South Walsham, England
The 130-acre garden features ancient woodland paths, water gardens, and cultivated areas with over 95 bird species throughout its grounds.
Created by Henry Rogers Broughton in 1947, the garden includes a fishpond listed in the Domesday Book and a 950-year-old oak tree.
Traditional gardening methods persist through hand-clearing of dykes using chrome tools and organic management practices that maintain ecological balance.
The garden provides wheelchair access throughout its grounds and operates daily from 10:00 to 17:00, with boat trips available on its private broad.
Each May, 50,000 Candelabra primulas bloom across the garden, creating one of the largest collections of these flowers in the United Kingdom.
